Abstract

A lighting fixture adapted to be mounted between parallel ceiling support grids includes a series of latches at the corners. The latches are retracted responsive to movement of the fixture to a position above the support grids and are released automatically after the fixture is disposed above the grids to define grid engaging supports for the fixture.
